Microcosmos--Psychological and Physical

Insofar as the perceptual world is encompassed by consciousness, it can be characterized as a 'psychological microcosmos', following the use of 'psychological' by Plato and Aristotle.  Furthermore, insofar as a physical object is an object of perception--e. g. the human body, the Sun, without or without the aid of a telescope, minute particles, without or without the aid of a microscope--the physical sciences are all part of a psychological microcosmos, a central thesis of Kantianism that is neglected by even the contemporary Nobel Physicist Weinberg, in his attempt to defend his field against Kant's critique of it.  Thus, the standard physical microcosmos, e. g. sub-atomic and sub-nuclear particles, strings, etc., is derived from a more fundamental psychological microcosmos, on this model of Consciousness.
